Happy birthday is cumpleaños feliz, because the adjective comes after the noun.

Happy birthday is cumpleaños feliz, because the adjective comes after the noun.

Oh yea..well, its been 2yrs since Ive done Spanish, so Im a little rusty.

[Muniflex]

Actually it is Feliz Cumpleanos. He is right. Well it is where i am anyway.
Feliz Ano Nuevo - Happy New Year
Feliz Navidad - Merry Christmas

Isnt adjective before noun when you are describing something?

Isnt adjective before noun when you are describing something?

I don't know the actual rule, but for three years i have been sayin Feliz Cumpleanos. nd so have all the spanish at my school

[-Soph-]

i'm pretty sure the adjective comes AFTER the noun..

you should also add the 10's of numbers... going up to 100

20 - veinte
30 - treinta
40 - cuaranta
50 - cincuenta
60 - sesenta
70 - setenta
80 - ochenta
90 - noventa
100 - cien


they always come in handy because you can work out every no. between 1-100 with them.
